That is correct, so to issue non-fatal warnings from your post-commit
hook, you must send it via another means, for example by email.

To give an example, in the MacPorts project, we run a script in post-
commit to check the syntax of committed files, and if they don't
pass, we send an email to the committer with the syntax checker report.
